Patent EG-25997-A (EG)
Title: Method for three dimensional seismic travel time tomography in transversely isotropic media
Inventor: MARTINEZ RUBEN D
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2009-02-10
Granted: 2012-12-04
Abstract: A method for estimating seismic velocities (V 1 -V n ) in vertically transversely isotropic media includes generating an initial estimate of vertical interval velocity and interval normal moveout velocity with respect to depth (d 1 -d n ) from seismic data. An initial estimate is generated of a first anisotropy parameter with respect to depth (d 1 -d n ). The first anisotropy parameter is related to the interval normal moveout velocity and the interval vertical velocity. An initial estimate is generated with respect to depth (d 1 -d n ) of a second anisotropy parameter. The second anisotropy parameter is related to the first anisotropy parameter and an interval anelliptic parameter. A first tomographic inversion is performed with respect to the interval normal moveout velocity and the second anisotropy parameter at a constant value of the first anisotropy parameter until travel time differentials reach minimum values. Layer depths are adjusted with the initial estimate of vertical interval velocity. Using values of the second anisotropy parameter determined in the first tomographic inversion, a second tomographic inversion is performed of interval normal moveout velocity and the first anisotropy parameter with respect to depth. The adjusted layer depths, interval normal moveout velocities and interval vertical velocities are again adjusted and interval anelliptic parameters are calculated from the second tomographic inversion.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus or Machinery for Sawing Stone.
Inventor: WINCQZ GREGOIRE
Filed: 1897-01-06
Granted: 1897-11-06
Abstract: 410. Wincqz, G., and Machepy, H. Jan. 6. Sawing stone.-In machines sawing by a wire F, the pulleys P are loaded with receptacles B containing water and partly balanced by counterweights D free, as in Fig. 1, or immersed in fixed water receptacles M, as in Fig. 2. Weights may be used at B as shown in Fig. 2. The descent of the wire is caused by the excess of the weight B over the counterbalance, and its ascent by running out the water. In the form shown in Fig. 2, if the wire F breaks, the counterweight rises out of the water until equilibrium is produced.

Granted: 1897-08-21
Abstract: 15,952. Pope, A. A. July 5. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to the construction and arrangement of the gearing for transmitting power from the motor to the vehicle driving- wheels, with especial reference to the regulation of speed and control of the direction of travel. Fig. 1 shows the gear in side elevation, and Fig. 2 a diagrammatic representation of the gear in plan. Between the wheel m on the motor shaft and the wheel axle c<12> are two intermediate shafts m<2>, m<11>. The shaft m<11> can be driven at either of two speeds according to which of the loose wheels m<3>, m<4> is made to clutch the wheel m<1>; a forked leverframe m<8> is provided for shifting them. Motion is transmitted from the shaft m<11> to the axle c<12> through epicyclic gearing on the former engaging with balance gearing o on the latter. The epicyclic gearing, which is of complex character, is so arranged that the speed of travel depends upon the degree to which one of the brake drums n<1>, n<2> is retarded, and the direction of travel depends upon which of the two is acted on. In order that both drums may be controlled by a single lever the cam gear shown towards the left of Fig. 1 may be employed.

Abstract: 4601. Wood, R. W. March 2. Producing coloured photographs.-Relates to a method of producing coloured photographs by diffraction. Three negatives of the object to be photographed are taken through red, green, and blue screens, and from these positives on glass are made. These positives are now flowed with a solution of bichromated gelatine on which are printed diffraction screens of different spacing for each negative. By printing successively in register from the three negatives, a positive transparency is made. This positive transparency is illuminated by white light, and viewed through a lens a, Fig. 7, placed in front of it. Since the rays must be received by the eye at a certain angle to produce the desired colour effect, adjustable eye-holes are mounted on a screen g, the position of which on the stand is also adjustable. The different spacing of the screens combined with each single colour negative brings the colour corresponding to that negative opposite the eye. Contact colour prints may be taken from the original colour photograph. In another method of producing the colour positive, the diffraction screens are combined with the colour screens, while three successive exposures are made on the same plate in the camera.
